I want to be cremated but I also want to be guillotined before being shoved into the fire. Knowing that the likelihood of that actually happening is slim to none, I'm in inclined to request a viewing even though I don't want one just so they replace my blood with embalming fluid, at least that would ensure I'm dead.

Right? I need the OS to work, I don't need to know all the "power user" stuff. If someone is into knowing that stuff, cool, great, enjoy, but it's not something I'm interested in or have a use for. I use my computer to get things done.

Mint also BTW.

I currently have family in town and am working an 8 hour night shift on 2 hours of sleep, missing those 2 extra hours is really talking it's toll.

Hey you were closer than me, I would have guessed closer to Roman times since it hits me as a Latin origin.

I'm mobile and can't verify anything, but if you trust a goggle AI Overview then here you go.

The word "flotilla" originates from the Spanish word flotilla, a diminutive form of flota meaning "fleet". This, in turn, came from Old French floter and ultimately Germanic roots, like Old Norse floti ("raft, fleet") and Old English flota ("ship" or "fleet"), which are ancestors of the English word "float". The English term "flotilla" was adopted in 1711 and refers to a small fleet, especially of small naval vessels like destroyers or submarines. Here's a breakdown of the word's origin: Spanish: Flotilla (diminutive of flota, meaning "fleet"). Old French: Floter ("to float, set afloat"). Germanic: Old Norse floti ("raft, fleet") and Old English flota ("ship, fleet"). Indo-European: Traced back to the root pleu- ("to flow"). The English word "flotilla" was first recorded in 1711.

I only know this because he's from my area and still does charity work in the area, Travis Kelce. Honestly I couldn't care less about celebrity lives, but from what I've seen in local press he does seem to be a good guy.

Not denying that it is, but 20 years ago I was a contractor with Smuckers corporate aviation department and these had just come out, they were giving them away to promote them and I tried a few..... they were REALLY good. I get why parents give them to their kids, both parents having to work long days sometimes two jobs, kids need food fast that they will eat, these for the bill.

Now as for the this being an American thing, just let me put on some kid rock, an overpriced Chinese made hat that claims the country I'm about to say is the best, isn't great, and put a bag over my head to kill a bunch of brain cells. Ok I think I'm ready.

Look here libtard this is the greatest country in the world, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, and if you don't like it well then love it or leave it, cuz you know what we beat the Russians, PUNTIN IS GREAT, and their libtard socialism, I know that cuz I learned it in public school that I got to on public transportation that operates on public roads, just proof that America is better than socialism, the public provided that, not them queery socialists, and the public is to busy being hard working Americans holding down two or three jobs to be able to take the time to cook healthy meals for their kids, and besides high fructose corn syrup is good for ya, it's got corn which is healthy and syrup which comes from freakin trees, now you ain't going to tell me corn and trees are unhealthy?

Ok I can't do that anymore, I was starting to piss myself off.

There was a pro-nazi movement in the U.S. in the 1930's. They had a nazi rally in Madison Square Garden. The nazis went underground for the most part after the U.S. entered WW2.
